- Add the chopped ginger and saute for a minute.
- Blend the tomatoes and chillies till smooth. Pour into the saucepan and cook, stirring occassionally till oil floats on the top.
- Add in all the spice powders and saute till the raw smell is gone.
- Now add the crumbled potato, salt and sufficient water and bring the mixture to boil.
- Check seasoning, add the garam masala and coriander leaves. If the sauce is too sour, add a pinch of sugar.
- Switch off and serve warm with pooris.
Notes
Usually a pinch of amchur powder is added but since I didn't have it in my pantry, I didn't use it. In case you do have, you can add around 1/4 tsp along with all your spice powders.
